HISTORY:
The
wine cellar takes its name after Mr Luis Villachica, person of fortune who
bought various estates in Spain during the sale of Church lands between 1835-1837.
The wine cellar is located in one of those estates in El Pago de San Andrés,
in the village of Toro, Zamora.
The land went on to belong to his daughter Mrs Victoriana Villachica,
who
ordered the construction of a small palace there, after which the wine cellar
was later named. She passed away without issue and the land was donated to
the diocese of Zamora.
In the late eighties the land was purchased by Mr Angel San Miguel de Pablos
and in 1999 he began the construction of the wine cellar. The first wine was
made in the year 2000.
